1979 Ford Bronco full size 4WD locking hubs with 4 way adjustable plow.  Vehicle has rust above both wheel wells and has Bondo.  Also has holes in the floor of the truck.  Truck has been used on my property to plow snow for last 8 years or so.  Motor starts and runs, but needs to warm up before it will stay running without hitting the gas.  it also bogs down if u hit the gas hard.  I am pretty sure the problem is vacuum related.  i am not a mechanic, so i just let it warm up.  it also has some play in the wheel, so i think both tie rod ends need replaced.  Tires have good tread and 4WD works well.  Has pretty large after marked American Racing rims.  Blower motor probably needs to be replaced, it makes a sqeeking sound but still works.  truck mostly sits, i recently got a tractor to plow snow with, so I no longer need the plow.  Plow goes up and down, and can pivot left and right.  Return spring for brake pedel is weak, so i have a bungie chord pulling brake pedal back up.  Truck has no back seat, and carpet was removed.  Has power back window and a trailer brake unit. A/C belt was removed, but it is inside the truck.  Belts are new because they were squeaking last year.  Has not been tuned up since i have owned it, but i change the oil every summer... i estimate it drives about 30 miles a year... mostly driving back and forth from the gas station.  Temp gauge doesn't work, but the rest of the gauges do work.  has a cheap aftermarket cassette radio, good enough to listen to while plowing. 


Let me know if you have any questions, or want more pictures... U can either call me or email me though ebay.  815 277 six six seven eight.

Have a clear title, truck just needs a new owner who will give it more attention.  

Update....    I took the truck out for a drive tonight.  I haven't started it in a 2 months, and with 5 pumps of the gas and a couple cranks it started right up.  I let it warm up, and drove it for about 4 miles.  It ran good, and i drove 60 mph no prob.  It seems it might have had some older gas, because i put some new gas in it and it ran great.  let me know if you have any questions....

probably be best if buyer comes out and takes a look, i don't think you will be dissappointed... I also want to be honest and let the buyer know exactly what they are getting.

Volkswagen could outsell GM in China for the first time in nine years

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

As of the end of November, Volkswagen had sold 70,000 more cars than General Motors in China in 2013, making it appear inevitable that VW will outsell GM there. The feat would return the German brand to the top of chart in China for the first time in nine years, but even the second-place getter won't be complaining too loudly: both automakers sold more than three million vehicles in a market pegged to hit 16 million sales this year.
Volkswagen said it could have sold more cars if it had had more production capacity in China. The arrival of a new-to-China Audi A4, a China-built A3 sedan, the VW Bora and Skoda Octavia, as well as an $18.2-billion-euro investment in the country to construct new factories, means VW should see its numbers grow in 2014. GM's lineup is expanding next year, too, adding four Chevrolet nameplates and two vehicles to its Baojun brand as it tries to get to five million in sales by 2015.
Among other automakers, Ford benefited from good product and woes for Japanese automakers over a territorial dispute with China, outselling Toyota by almost 32,000 units through the end of November. The Ford Focus is China's best-selling vehicle so far this year.

2014 Ford Transit Connect Taxi hopes to fare thee well

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

New York City may have selected its taxi of tomorrow, but there are still plenty of municipalities across the US with citizens that depend on yellow livery cars to get them across town in a jiffy. That's why Ford is going ahead with this, the new Transit Connect Taxi.
Based on the 2014 Transit Connect, the TC Taxi boasts a number of features designed to make the compact van appeal to discerning taxi drivers and their fares, with the most notable upgrade being a standardized prep package to convert the 2.5-liter four to run on liquefied petroleum or compressed natural gas. The clean-burning fuel options will allow operators to save on fuel costs and cut down on pollution without sacrificing performance.
A lower load floor and a new twist-beam rear suspension are meant to improve the riding experience for passengers, while the longer 2014 Transit Connect sports extra cargo space as well. In addition to the CNG/LPG conversion, the Transit Connect Taxi can also be easily modified for wheelchair access. Drivers, meanwhile, will have access to optional goodies like Sync with MyFord Touch and a rear-view camera.
